It really isn't. It's a statement of fact. The whole point of getting everyone in the same room and showing them how to go through a SSO userflow and install basic software is precisely to not force everyone on your team to endure that each and every single time there's a new hire.
The majority of questions are always the same predictable set of questions, the struggles are the same, the process is the same, the goals are the same. Thus instead of bringing down each and every team's productivity to go through exactly the same thing over and over again, you just get everyone on the same room, get a pair of dedicated employees to do the handholding, and you're done.
- mirchibajji 5y agoA lot of this synchronous process can be avoided - especially for techies - if there is good documentation. If your new tech hire cannot figure out the documentation: a) fix the docs, preferably by the new hires themselves after they figure it out, b) Chances are they're not a great hire. Most of jobs involve reading docs, after all.
